Brand: Stanton
The Stanton STR8-30 is a high-output, moving magnet phono cartridge designed for use with turntables that have low input impedance and high source impedance. It has a standard 47kOhm impedance and RG6000 coil wire, which provides maximum output for high-gain systems like step-up transformers and active magnetic phono stages. This cartridge is also compatible with a wide range of phono equalizer curves, including RIAA, Columbia, and Decca. Overall, the STR8-30 offers excellent tracking ability, detail retrieval, and a smooth, warm sound with reduced surface noise.
